Tian Jihong, who is still shallow in cultivation, has not heard from the master at this time, these aura with elemental attributes have a unique effect compared to the ordinary aura wandering between heaven and earth, but if you want to absorb it, there are more requirements, and you need to make a lot of preparations in advance. For example, the fire attribute aura coming from front of you is known for its extreme destructive power, and if it is absorbed in an ordinary way, it will inevitably be eaten by the violent energy. At worst, the meridians are damaged by the pervasive fire energy, causing internal injuries, or the mind is eroded by the aura, and eventually turns into a walking corpse that has lost its mind. And if you want to smoothly absorb the fire-based aura, you not only need special corresponding exercises to suppress the powerful power of the fire-based aura, but also supplement it with various pills to keep your mind clear.

Fortunately, Tianjihong stopped in time when he found that something was wrong, so that he did not cause indelible wounds to himself. But the current environment really made it difficult for him. Such an experience had already made Tian Jihong realize that the area in front of him was probably not something that a fledgling monk like him could set foot in, and if he wanted to forcibly break into the cave, he had to urge the spiritual power of his whole body to resist this terrifying high temperature. At the same time, the harsh environment in the cave made it impossible for him to absorb and replenish his spiritual power from the outside world, so that if he only relied on the existing spiritual power in the dantian to support the next trip, he would run out of oil and die in the cave in less than ten minutes.

Hindered by the rising heat, he had to keep wandering around the entrance of the cave. In fact, Tianjihong is already ninety percent sure, nourished by such an environment with abundant fire attributes, there must be an extraordinary fire-based elixir in the depths of the cave; Regardless of whether this was the lair of the Fire Cloud Luan, if he couldn't find the fire fruit he needed here, then he really couldn't think of any other location to complete the task.

Looking at the close opportunity, he could only stare dryly, as if under the infection of this harsh environment, gradually Tianjihong couldn't help but feel anxious and unwilling in his heart. It was useless to drag on for now, and Tianji Hong, who was plagued by negative emotions, had to rush into the cave desperately, and his mind had even begun to think about whether to take a risk and dive into the depths of the cave as much as possible within the ten-minute limit he could support to find the whereabouts of the fire fruit.

However, at this moment, an inconspicuous trace beside him saved Tian Jihong's life. When Tian Jihong, who was already determined to risk his death, walked to the right edge of the platform, he suddenly found a clear paw print twice the size of his palm at the corner of the stone wall and the granite platform. This discovery was better than the effect of any awakening elixir, and Tian Jihong, who had been in a state of confusion, suddenly came to his senses, and after some identification, he quickly confirmed that this paw print should be left by a feline beast, and its size was no less than that of the earth salamander he encountered yesterday.

Judging by the location of the paw prints, it seems that the beast had missed a trace of negligence during the cleaning process. Tianjihong, who had inspected the area around the cave several times, had not been able to find similar paw prints in the volcanic ash everywhere, but the corners of the hard stone wall had left such a distinct trace. First, this shows that the beast's intelligence must not be low, and it must have wiped out all the footprints in the soil on the platform that are easier to leave marks after marching, so as to hide its own existence; Second, judging from the clarity of the paw prints, this guy must have appeared here recently, and his strength is strong enough to leave a trace of a foot deep in the hard granite, and in terms of strength, he is probably still a real spirit beast.

In addition, Tian Jihong also guessed that this beast was probably like the fire-spine sheep, and had a special ability to easily stick to the rock wall, and even the former may have been attracted to this place by the fire-spine sheep, and the cave in front of him might be the place where it lived. At this time, Tian Jihong, who had fully awakened, actually gave birth to a sense of happiness that he had escaped from death, and he didn't dare to imagine how he would save his life in this Jedi if he had just recklessly sneaked into the cave without knowing the existence of such a spirit beast, once he was caught by the latter who was ambushed in the cave, or if he blocked the retreat from the entrance of the cave behind him.

Thinking of this, Tian Jihong hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and a feeling of shame welled up in his heart. He recalled that he had just made a promise with Master last night, saying that he would act cautiously in the future and take care of himself, and no longer let Master worry; As a result, it was only less than half a day after he went out, and he left this promise behind him, and almost made a big mistake because he didn't notice it for a while, which is really worthy of the care given by the master, and it is no wonder that the master repeatedly reminds himself to keep a clear head at all times, and everything must be put first by his own safety.

Tian Jihong quickly gritted his teeth, shook his head and threw away all the impulses and impatience in his mind, and began to think about the next plan. In fact, even now, Tianjihong's situation does not allow him to relax his vigilance. There was still no evidence of where the lurking beast was hiding, and he didn't know if it was acting during the day, so even if it suddenly came out of an inconspicuous corner at the bottom of the cliff and attacked him, it seemed quite possible to him. Therefore, the first thing he did was to be vigilant for any disturbance around him, while retreating methodically to the other end of the cliff where he came. Until he figured out the location of the hidden beast, Tian Jihong would never consider risking his way into the cave.

There were no accidents on the way back, except for the hot air that still gushed from time to time in the cave, and the huge rock platform seemed to be as calm as ever. Tian Jihong, who had retreated to the other side of the cliff, could finally take a breath with peace of mind, without the interference of the scorching breath coming from his nose, he had recovered from his irritability and anxiety at this time. Tian Jihong, who had palpitations, decided to use the rope at this time to first check the stone walls within a radius of 100 meters from the opposite rock platform. Although he couldn't find any clues outside the entrance of the cave, since this guy was sure to be active nearby, Tianjihong didn't believe that he still had the ability to remove all traces of himself between such steep stone walls.

Sure enough, after some investigation, it didn't take long for Tianjihong, who did not let go of any details this time, to find a foothold hidden by tree branches twenty meters below the platform. The rock area at this foot was not spacious, only enough for four or five adults to stand side by side, but the most important thing was that Tian Jihong found the same paw prints on the stone wall as on the previous stone wall in this platform, and at the same time, under the treetops, it was obviously the broken skeleton of a fire-spine sheep. It shows that the beast that lurks in the shadows must have stayed here recently, and also hunted a firespinal sheep nearby.

On the cliff wall on the side of the platform, a large number of clear traces of the beast had stepped on it, extending towards the side of the mountain peak in the direction of the left. Tian Jihong was a little surprised to realize that this beast did not seem to live in the cave that led to the center of the earth as he had predicted before, and it seemed that its frequent location was more like on the other side of the mountain. But in this case, why would this guy be so careful to erase all the traces outside the cave he passed by? Is it really just to lure unclear prey into the cave and then hunt for yourself? Or is this guy also worried about some other, more powerful predator?

In any case, this beast that doesn't know where to hide is still a threat after all, and before he is sure whether he will be attacked from behind after going down the cave, Tian Jihong must find a way to remove this hidden danger first. But at this moment, there was no end in sight to the paw prints stretching out to the upper left, and looking to the left from the position where Tianjihong was standing, he couldn't see the situation at the side ridge at all. He is different from the beast, he is not like the other party can easily walk back and forth on the rock wall, even if the other party has footprints in front of him, as a human he has no way to pursue it; And if you want to turn around and go around to the other side of the mountain to search, I am afraid that you will not be able to reach it in a day or two.

After some thought, Tian Jihong's gaze finally fell on the skeleton of the fire-spine sheep on the side, and he finally had an idea in his mind. Since he had determined that the beast was feeding on the fire-ridged sheep, why didn't he use it as a bait to lure the other party to show up, so as to save himself a lot of energy to go to the trouble of finding the other party, he only needed to make some movement to attract the attention of the beast, and then he waited for the rabbit on the side.

Of course, it is not easy to implement such a plan, not to mention anything else, the first thing Tianjihong has to do is to catch a live fire-spine sheep as bait. And although he had seen several fire-spine sheep roaming among the cliffs above along the way, it would take a bit of effort to catch such a nimble and alert big guy. However, after having a preliminary action plan, Tianjihong still seems eager to try; This was also the first time he had proven his strength since he started practicing, and he had been looking forward to finding a suitable opponent as soon as possible to verify his improvement last night.

So Tian Jihong first retreated to the cliff where he came, lurking under the rocks on the side, carefully observing the movements of several fire-spine sheep overhead. After some careful observation, Tian Jihong gradually figured out the habits of his prey, and this firespinal sheep seemed to have a soft spot for a lilac herb that grew on the cliffs, and its route between the rock walls Tian Jihong gradually became familiar. Ten minutes later, I saw a medium-sized fire-spine sheep slowly approaching a medicinal herb above his head, and he felt that the time was ripe for Tian Jihong to make a decision and prepare to attack the prey in front of him.
